Gent vs Royale Union Saint-Gilloise

A tense evening at the Ghelamco Arena ended goalless as KAA Gent frustrated Royale Union SG in the Pro League Championship Round, landing a damaging blow to the visitors' title ambitions. Union SG were denied a dream start in the sixth minute when Willy Kanga's penalty was saved by the Gent goalkeeper. The visitors dominated — 54% possession, 15 shots to Gent's nine — but could not break through. Gent were combative throughout, picking up four yellow cards. The cruelest moment came in the 87th minute when Mathias Biondic's apparent strike was ruled out by VAR, leaving the visitors stunned. The 0-0 leaves Union SG in second place but further adrift in the title race, with their hopes of defending the Pro League crown looking increasingly fragile. Gent, still winless in the championship rounds, add another draw that does little to lift their playoff campaign.
